Taylor Swift is not known for her edgy fashion choices.
But when the 25-year-old decided to step away from her signature stylish yet safe look on Tuesday, she did not win the acclaim she was probably hoping to get for thinking out of the box and wearing a leather harness.
The singer has now explained her accessory - which she sported on a day out in Los Angeles, California, with Selena Gomez - to fans who questioned the unusual look.

The Bad Blood singer took to her Tumblr to explain the accessory saying she was just trying to be ready for extreme sports.
With her tongue firmly in her cheek, she wrote: 'I think you’re ignoring a really important point here… That my harness and I are always ready for a zip line/rock climbing.
'Ask yourself.. Are you ready for extreme adventure should it present itself?'

While wearing harness - especially over dresses - has become a fashion thing, Taylor's trouble may have been caused by the fact the singer had hers on backwards.
Accessory choice aside, the rest of her outfit played it safe, with the star wearing tiny green shorts that showed off her long and lean legs, and a message T-shirt that blared: 'THIS IS MY FIGHT SONG'
That slogan most likely referred to the tune Fight Song that Taylor performed with Rachel Platten in Philadelphia on June 13.

Her younger BFF Selena, 22, donned white leggings, a cropped chambray shirt, black plimsolls, and Etnia Barcelona's 'WLA Africa 06' sunglasses.
The entertainers no doubt had a lot to talk about as Taylor's been touring and Selena's been promoting her latest effort Hotel Transylvania 2 with Adam Sandler and Kevin James.
Selena recently made a splash as the co-star in Taylor's Bad Blood video which already boasts glimpses of Jessica Alba, Gigi Hadid, Lily Aldridge, Lena Dunham, Cara Delevingne and many others.

The Come & Get It star recently confessed why she and Taylor are so close - because Swift tells it straight.
'She was actually at my house.... we were sitting by the fire and I was talking about relationships and business in my life,' Selena told Us Weekly late last year.
'She just kind of looked at me and was like, "Selena, if you're the smartest person in the room, I think you're going to be in the wrong room." She thinks I should constantly surround myself with people who are going to make me better - that are going to challenge and motivate me.'

However, living on opposite coasts does mean fewer get-togethers.
'She bought her house in L.A. two years ago and I loved it,' said Selena, who also bought a house in Los Angeles. 'Sure enough, I finally get my own home and she moves to New York.
'She thinks I fit in personality-wise more there and I can understand that, but I love my home and I'm going to stick to that for a while.'
She knows it: Selena co-starred in Taylor Swift's celebrity-laden music video Bad Blood and she too wore a harness like contraption
